     A#m
That lipstick on your collar, well,
it ain't my shade of pink
           Fm
And I can tell by the smell of that perfume,
it's like forty dollars too cheap
              A#m
And there's a little wine stain on
the pocket of your white cotton thread
       Fm
Well, you drink beer and whiskey, boy,
and you know I don't drink red

C#
Found it over in the corner,
wadded up on the bedroom floor
D#m
You shoulda hid it in the closet,
you shoulda burned it, you shoulda lost it

Chorus:
    A#m
Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry
Fm
Clothespin all your secrets to
the line, line, line
A#m
Leave 'em blowing in the wind, just say
           Fm
goodbye to you
           A#m
All those midnights sneaking in,
"I'm late again, oh, I'm so sorry"
All the Ajax in the world ain't
gonna clean your dirty laundry

If the neighbors get to asking,
I won't cover nothin' up
I'll tell 'em every little detail,
how you drug me through the mud
I'm gonna string up your old button-down
and slide it on the porch
Just in case you get the nerve to come
knockin' on my door

Chorus:
Yeah, I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry
Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line
Leave 'em blowing in the wind, just
say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in
"I'm late again, oh, I'm so sorry"
All the Ajax in the world ain't gonna
clean your dirty laundry

Found it over in the corner
Wadded up on the bedroom floor
You shoulda hid it in the closet
You shoulda burned it, you shoulda lost it

Chorus:
Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry
Clothespin all your secrets to
the line, line, line
Leave 'em blowing in the wind,
just say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in
"I'm late again, oh, I'm so sorry"
All the Ajax in the world ain't gonna
clean your dirty laundry

(Out to dry)
(To the line)
(To the line)
